Love Among the Roses.

Boston Traveller: Said florist the

notice couple going by herea fine,
manly young fellow and girl pretty
and dainty, with lovely brown hair and
dark-blue eyes. They didn't know
each other, but when the young man
went to business the girl was sure to be

him. She lived right around the corner,
and she used to come in here and pre-

An INDECENT Organ.

When the liver is INDECENT, as Ii must
necessarily. be when it fails to secrete the
bile in sufficient quantities to meet the re-
quirements of digestion and evacuation, it
should be set at work with Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. The healthful stimulus,
to activity impaired BY this incompatible
Alternative, speedily evinces itself in q de-
pasture of the uncomfortable sensations in
the right side; the nausea; fur upon the
tongue; indigestion, and sick headache
consequent upon Inactivity OF the liver and
the diversion Of the bile from its proper.

How Typo is Made,

It takes a great deal of work to
make type, says the Atlanta Constitu-
ton. Every letter has to be handled
by five different persons after it is cast.
The first thing done is cutting the let
ter on the end Of a fine. piece of steel
forming punch. Thepunch is driven
into piece Of polished copper, which
makes the matrix. The matrK for the
face of the letter and the mould for
the body of the type are put into the
type-casting machine, fed with melted
metal, and the letters are turned out
one at a time, dropping from the ma
chine like the ticking of watch. A
great deal of work is required in finish
ing type, and Wheu at last they are APP
parently all right each letter is exam
med under a microscope, and the de
fective ones are rejected.

Stage Fright.

Abr Grossmith tells a Chicago News
reporter of new comedian who, years
ago, was cast for the first graye-digger
when the Hamlet was Barry Sullivan.
The vision of the black-browed, scowl-
ing prince and the sound of his tenn
pestuous voice when he asked whose
skull it was scared all the comedians
wits away, and he was obliged to con-
TESS aloud with many stammers, that he
had forgotten. The audience roared
and Sullivan was obliged to say ..Ah,
Z bricks, Isuppose, but added .Beast!''
in vehement .saside," that BODIED no
good for the unfortunate actor when
the scene ended. The comedian was
50 frightened that he thought best to
make his escape by means Of the grase
via the substage route. Sullivan saw
this and sought to prevent him, but the
man imagined that the irate tragedian
was trying to secure him for personal
chastisement and made all haste to
escape the threatened vengeance, I'M
mediately npon this entered the funeral
of Ophelia, and Hamlet's love, was
buried on top, Of the first grave digger.

excuses us from any cultivation Of our
own spiritual relations or those Of the
ahasoh. Let us do the one, but dosnot
iet US leave that great other undone.
The modern fashion of building the
edifce is no doubt somewhat response
Bile for this result. We have clustered
under the church roof as many offices
as a monastery of the middle ages, and
like those institutions, the chief is the
refectory! a leading religious organ
has just delivered its say with great
freedom on the development Of the
kitchen as religious force, and as
serts that as the kitchen goes up the
spirituality goes down. This may or
may not prove true. It is too early to
decide with certainty. But it is not
impossible that the decline Of the spirit
of worship, so much deplored, has
something to do with the aims Of a
modern church. H its first aim is to
make its members work. and to teach
them to enter into the wide interests of
the world, then doubtless the sociable is
more valuable than. the prayer meeting,
and the church cannot be better used
than for public meetings, and lectures,
and gathering of general interest. But
lit has higher purpose, if it stands:
for our relation to the supernatural, and
all its activity is but a means. Of draw
ing men into a higher life as well as a.
better, we must recognise that purpose
and seek to promote it. There is an
acknowledged need Of cultivating the
purely religious element more than we
have been doing, and It may not be
amiss to begin by a new spirit of rev
erence in the house of God, an outward
devotion which shall at once express
and cultivate the inward and spiritual
grses.

Protit-sharing.

The great soap manufacturing firm
OF Proctor & Gamble, of Cincinnati.
have entered into an agreement with
their employees by which the latter are
to share in the profits Of the business
in addition to their wages. This action
was voluntary on the part of the firm
and without solicitation on the part Of
the employees. The EVENING Posr of
that city refers to the new departure as
follows:
The firm Of Proctor & Gamble, their en-

OF the whole world are to be congratulated
upon the inauguration by the firm above
mentioned OF practicable and mutually
beneficial scheme of proft-sharing, which
includes all the small army Of employees of

Proctor e Gamble are to be congratulated
because they have bound their employees to
their interest: because they have sweetened
their own residue of profit by the conscious
ness that they receive it into unenvied pos
session; because they have the conscious
ness that they are not only helping to clean
up the world OF mankind, but also contrib
uting to the cheerful and hopeful solution of
